Course Objectives The field of machine learning is concerned with the question of how to construct computer programs that improve automatically with experience. In recent years, many successful applications of machine learning have been developed, ranging from data-mining programs that learn to detect fraudulent credit card transactions, to autonomous vehicles that learn to drive on public highways. At the same time, there have been important advances in the theory and algorithms that form the foundation of this field. The goal of this course is to provide an overview of the state-of-art algorithms used in machine learning. Both the theoretical properties of these algorithms and their practical applications will be discussed.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to distinguish between a range of machine learning techniques.
  • will be able to apply the basic techniques/algorithms of the field.
  • will be able to compare various techniques/algorithms of the field.
  • will be able to design various Machine Learning algorithms to specific situations.
  • will be able to evaluate potential applications of Machine Learning techniques.
Course Description Machine learning is concerned with computer programs that automatically improve their performance with past experiences. Machine learning draws inspiration from many fields, artificial intelligence, statistics, information theory, biology and control theory. The course will cover the following topics;concept learning,decision tree learning ,artificial neural networks , instance based learning,evolutionary algorithms ,reinforcement learning ,Bayesian learning , computational learning theory.
